Help with Roku remotes and accessories, including pairing a remote, setting up TV power & volume control, using voice commands, power adapters, cables, headphones, and wireless speaker accessories.
I've seen this same problem posted for a number of different models. Aside from unplugging the earphones when not in use for those models (like yours) with an earphone jack built into the remote, I don't recall ever seeing a definitive solution.

They're not going to roll a truck and look under the hood of your remote. Only remedy is a replacement remote, which to get they take off line to get private info on where to ship the remote. People get upset because they don't see a happy ending posted, that's because ungrateful people don't come back and give a positive feedback.
Please send me a PM with your Roku account email address, and include the serial number of the Roku device from Settings>System>About. I'll be able to assist you further from there.
I use a RC-AL2 remote that has the same problem, fresh AAA batteries only last at most 8 weeks. I've noticed that when I view the remote with an IR sensitive camera, the IR LED will continue to flash even when no button is being pushed. Doesn't happen all the time, but has happened repeatedly. This would explain the excessive battery drain on this ROKU remote at least. It also means the remote has a design flaw built into the unit.
